Jewel of the Seas Review
Another Fabulous Southern Caribbean Cruise

Additional details
Overall, the cruise was wonderful. Embarkation was a breeze. We arrived at the port around 10:30 and were checked in and on the ship just after 11:00.
The ports were fabulous. We lucked out with near perfect weather every day, just a downpour or two in Antigua, but those didn't last long. I did ship's excursions in St. Thomas (Coastal Cruise to St. John), St. Croix (Panoramic Drive) and Martinique (Beach & Snorkeling).
All were great trips, but in the future I'd skip the coastal cruise excursion and just do the St. John on your own excursion instead. The coastal cruise didn't add much to the day.
Cabin Review
Our cabin, 9078, was extremely convenient to the Centrum. However, don't book this cabin if you go to bed early (we don't) because the noise from the Centrum can be heard quite clearly when there is a party going on. I'd book it again in a heartbeat because I don't go to bed early on cruises.The cabin has a huge balcony with two lounge chairs, two regular chairs, and a table. The bed was comfortable, and there was enough storage for the two of us.
